Last minute errata:
-------------------

o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system
  console.

Fix:  If you have the source distribution installed, simply
      cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc
      otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL:
      ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf
      instead.  Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided
      URL.
